MS TS-60 MPPT Solar Controller Data
I did a simple data grab earlier this afternoon and though I would post some of the results. SURE would appreciate others posting their controllers results The rigs setup - Four panels in a se...

I look at my system a bit different from others, to me its a power source not a battery charger.
My thoughts exactly. I really like all the information that is available from the MS. I wonder what is available from the Rogue if I purchased the interface and downloaded the software?
Do you find that after running extended loads during the day, when the loads are removed, the absorption mode is abbreviated or bypassed altogether? I find that to be the case with the Rogue. Extended times in MPPT under loads probably allow the battery voltage to rise above the absorb setpoint and/or the battery current acceptance has dropped below the setpoint. Maybe the MS has setting to adjust for that. Maybe the Rogue does too that I haven't found yet.

The manufacturer claims 98% efficiency (take a look at their web site) - I have seen even higher if you can believe the numbers from the device.
Looking at your power trace, I see where quite often the output power is actually higher than the input power. Since that is really not possible, maybe the sample rate is slower for the output power?
